This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks so much. And your commentary is EXACTLY what I was hoping to hear. I'm looking to drown myself in some good ol' fashioned PvE story. 30-40 hours, including the new goods from each expansion, sounds like the perfect way to get back into the game. Does this guide speak to gearing and what needs to be done? I don't mean builds specifically, I'm sure there's cookie-cutters and meta builds out there I can google, but I'm wearing (on multiple maxed characters) all exotic gear. Is there a specific place to look to upgrade the gear? Are the raids the only way? Sorry for throwing out so many questions - google doesn't always have veteran player insight.
